    Hello all

    I have a 03 speedfight 2 L/C 50cc with 15,000 on the clock
    It has light rollers (dont no exact size they came with the exhaust) lol
    Also has a tecnigas exhaust fitted
    And its does between 45-50 is this the right sort of speed you would expect or not ?

    Many Thanks

    Yeh thought so :D
    I took my spark plug out about 2 weeks ago aswell and the end of it was like an oily black then i wiped if off (with wire wool) checked it again tonight and its black again o_O
    Do you think that would affect the performance ?

    Many Thanks

    ooh sounds dodgy...i think zip kid meant try a new spark plug and if its still the same your either running too rich or you might need new rings ;)

    both jobs piece of piss on a speedy.... ;)....horizontal head!!!

    Well ,, i was going to take it to my local garage tomorra but they want £30 just to look to find out whats wrong :msn1:

    So should i just get a new spark plug and try that ? Would i be able to get one from halfords or summet ?

    yes you will probelly be able to get one from halfords try that and see where it takes you. fuck paying a garage £30 to "look" at your bike might aswell save your money and do it yourself.

    Possibly down jetting it slightly may help, if it keeps goin black means you're running too rich.

    Hmm i have a 72 jet in it already which is standard + ive had my peformance exhaust fitted so it should actually be 76 so i dont see how the jet could be the problem o_O

    Many Thanks
